The Chicago Manual of Style is a style guide for American English published since 1906 by the University of Chicago Press. It presents citations and references in 2 variations:
the Notes-Bibliography System, used in literature, history, and the arts; and
the Author-Date System, used in the social sciences.
A proper citation will include both an in-text citation, in the form of endnotes or footnotes, and an entry in the 'Bibliography' at the end of the paper.
Notes
Footnotes are added at the bottom of each page, while endnotes are listed at the end of the document. Ask your instructor which they prefer.
A superscript number is inserted in the text at the end of the sentence or clause in which the source is referenced. The corresponding note begins with that number followed by a period and space.
The second and subsequent citations of a source employ an abbreviated note format.
Example: Dimitrov theorized that the physical properties of the inscribed material affected how particular letters were carved.1

Bibliography
Every source cited in a note should also appear in an alphabetical listing at the end of the document. These entries in the bibliography are formatted a bit differently.
Example:
Dimitrov, Peter A.Thracian Language and Greek and Thracian Epigraphy. Newcastle upon Tyne: Cambridge Scholars Pub, 2009
